Floyd Mayweather Took a Page Out of McGregor's Style Playbook on their Last Press Tour Stop

Floyd Mayweather might not have been making very much noise with his outfits over the course of the painful-to-watch Mayweather Vs. McGregor press tour but hey, at least out of the two of them, he was making fewer deeply offensive comments in the name of trash talk. However! Mayweather decided to turn up the volume—with his style, with his cringe-worthy insults, with literally the loudness of his voice—for the last stop on the tour tonight in London. Because in boxing, it isn't over until everyone's in pretty rough shape.

Did Floyd Mayweather get it right with this Balmain sweater? Technically, yes. The knit fits well, the tiger pattern is rebellious and cheeky, and Mayweather’s choice of black pants and shiny-lace up boots makes nothing but good sense for an outfit meant to intimidate. As for his Elizabeth Taylor-level bling, while we wouldn’t recommend it in real life, this is not real life by any stretch of the imagination. Mayweather is really, really into expensive accessories, and he flexed his obsession in a very entertaining way tonight. All in all, compared with McGregor’s David August three-piece suit, Mayweather’s outfit spoke a little louder, it maybe even looked a little cooler, it was definitely his best move yet.

If only Mayweather and McGregor both navigated trash talking with as much deftness as they do their wardrobes.
